KY To Provide Civil Legal Aid To Low-Income
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky has joined nearly two dozen other states in forming a commission to help the judiciary deliver civil legal aid to low-income citizens.
Chief Justice John D. Minton announced on Thursday the creation of the Kentucky Access to Justice Commission, a 30-member body tasked with removing impediments to access to the justice system, developing effective plans for funding for civil legal services and expanding assistance available for self-represented litigants.
Retired Judge Roger Crittenden, the interim chair of board, says the commission will hold an initial meeting Jan. 28, 2011. Minton has not yet appointed members to the board.
